#1 "Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade."

A stopped clock is right ....

"Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals"

Inability? Or unwillingness? And how can one make a border a one-way membrane to smuggling (keep things from moving south, while allowing illegals to move north?)

#2 "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals"

I seem to recall that the Department of Justice deliberately let those weapons through to the narco gangs despite the expressed concerns of the gun sellers, some of which were used to kill two Border Patrol agents in Mexico. It is the job of the secretary of state to announce the president's position on a given subject, but when the plot and the perpetrators have been publicly revealed, she really ought to display a bit of principle and spine.

#3 "Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of coppers, soldiers and civilians," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."

How much longer did her nose grow when she said that?

Tell the truth, Hill - your only concern is your inability to cover up that the Administration YOU serve sent the weapons south on purpose.

Hmmm. Wonder if there's any way to check if any of Bambi's "donations" came from the Mex cartels? I'd at least check the bank accounts of the higher-ups in the ATF.
